New Zealand Citizens to Vote on Marijuana Legalization in 2020

The Justice Minister of New Zealand, Andrew Little, has announced that New Zealanders will be able to vote on recreational marijuana in 2020. The referendum will be included on general election ballots with a simple yes or no option.

Home cultivation would be legal, but limited, according to The Sydney Morning Herald. New Zealand intends to legalize marijuana in a way that minimizes harm to the general public while destroying the black market.
